gollark: I suppose you could argue that I don't believe it as a "matter of principle" thing, but from what I've heard torture is *not* actually a very effective way to get information.
gollark: For example, there's - on the "fat man" trolley problem question - a question about "do you believe torture is always wrong as a matter of principle" and then "bla bla bla nuclear device torture fat man or not".
gollark: I don't like this philosophyexperiments.com site, it seems to imply things.
gollark: I can make the antimemetics antimemetic such that nobody ever finds out.
